Alison Krauss & Union Station "Maybe" RAVE-HD

This is a superlative live performance of "Maybe" by Alison Krauss and Union Station which recently aired on the excellent all HD commercial free cable channel RAVE-HD.

The song, from their "Forget About It" album, is a favorite of mine and this version is top notch. Alison's voice has never sounded better, and the dobro work by Jerry Douglas will knock your socks off.

............Lyrics............

Yesterday the odds were stacked
In favor of my expectations
Flying above the rest
Never falling from the nest
Tuesday came and went and now
I'm in a little situation
Maybe it's for the best
I can live alone, I guess

Maybe I can stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on home

Forgive me if I'm keeping you
Apart from better conversation
Hung up on all my doubt
Trying to sort the whole thing out
Tell me that I'm smart enough
To deal with all the information
Spinning inside my head
Every word he ever said

Maybe I can stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on home

This is about as close to perfection as a live performance can get. And, considering the instruments and harmonies involved, there is no margin for error (as is the case with overly amp'ed up bands). AMAZING!!!!!!!!! A true American treasure!

[dakotaschoolmaster]

The most incredible voice with the most awesome band, perfection indeed!

@milkmusic78 Hi. I think you're right that a LOT of singers especially the young ones use auto-tune. However, I don't think this perf is auto-tuned. Alison Krauss has a very particular vibrato. It's on the fast side of normal. She strips it out of her voice often because she sings a lot of harmony. You can't match voices and have tight harmonies with the vibrato in there because everyone has different vibrato speeds. She drives into the pitch and sets it when she sings in harmony.

Wonderful harmony, Awesome!!!!!!

Hahaha, what's a "road player"? Seriously, your lying undermines your credibility. You're a hopeless "Iconoclast." Check out the definition. You fit it to a Tee. Stop being such a punk.

[terrybeaton]

@milkmusic78 Liar!

[terrybeaton]

@milkmusic78 Punk.

@terrybeaton Now you're showing your true colors. You're just a kid in need of attention. I should have known with all the misspellings and bad grammar...oh well, live and learn. Keep practicing the guitar, my little friend. Your ears can improve if your pride will allow it.

[milkmusic78]

@terrybeaton Nonsense. It's doubtful you're even a musician. A good road player can hear what you aren't able to hear. The good news is, if you keep working at it, if you have some ability to begin with, you'll hear it as well. Good luck with the learning process.

[terrybeaton]

@milkmusic78 But the way, did you know that Alison is the producer on all of their last six albums. She herself, I guess, is the "they" that is doing this. AK has 26 grammies. Half of those are for producing. Many of those are for producing AKUS albumns. You need to fix your story a bit to account for some facts! You just been punked! Punk.

When you sound smart but say ridiculous things, you're either a reiligious type fanatic, a con man, or....I'm just guessing here...you're mentally ill. Hit like if milkmusic78 sounds like the latter to you.
